Mine is a nesting box with chicken wire over most of it to discourage other hens from going in it. I separate the moms and chicks from the rest of the flock.What are all your broody hen hatching chicks setups look like? Do you separate or not?

I answered your post, not sure how much help I am though. I tagged some experts.Hi there silkie lovers! I posted a thread and am hoping for some Silkie knowledge to help me figure out if I need to worry about my girl Fuzzy. I only got chickens for the first time ever this year and I know nothing about chicken egg laying behaviors, especially silkie behaviors. Any thoughts on this thread question are much appreciated! Thanks!

Thank you!! That is why I was getting concerned...it doesn't seem normal but I wasn't sure what was normal. She does have a middle finger width distance between pelvic bones so I was thinking it was wide enough that she might be close which may mean she's having issues laying and needs help. Blah, thank you for answering! And tagging others!I answered your post, not sure how much help I am though. I tagged some experts.
I don't know. I don't think it is my polish because she doesn't look like the last polish x silkies I hatched, so possible bantam phoenix, mutt frizzle, another mutt frizzle, 2 more non frizzle mutts, but I guess polish is still possible.Adorable!
What is s(he) mixed with?
